Reviewer Comments:

Ever wonder about the sound the geckos make? Most nights there were geckos in the rooms where we slept. When the lights were turned off, the geckos would make their sound and run over the walls. We unsuccessfully attempted to catch the geckos but they moved too quickly. While Hawaiian natives may have no issue with geckos inside their homes, we found the geckos quite troubling. For what we paid for the property, we would have expected the property to be sufficiently sealed to keep out the geckos. Because only one of the bedrooms had air conditioning, we needed to keep the windows open most of the day. Unfortunately, a number of window screens had holes of sufficient size that could have allowed the geckos to come inside. The outside temperature cooled each night but the people sleeping in the loft complained that it was warm even though the property had several fans. A recent review complained about cockroaches. Thankfully, we only saw one cockroach that we were able to dispose of. On the good side, the ocean view from the property was great. Other than the items set forth above, the house while aged was in good condition. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the Oahu north shore, which was in stark contrast to the Waikiki area favored by many tourists. Our girls enjoyed the wild chickens that came through the yard on most days. Thankfully, the chickens did not make much noise early in the morning. I found the agent we worked with to be responsive but the property owner who I believe owns the real estate company was completely unresponsive to our concerns. We provide these comments to enable potential renters to make an informed decision on whether to select this property.
